I just have to say that books are always better then their movies, as was the case with The Lightning Thief. I enjoyed it as a movie but the movie as following the story of the book, it was terrible. I think that it's a lot easier to watch a movie and then read the book. You don't get all those expectations and it's just easier to enjoy the movie that way. Sometimes the move is SO completely different from the book that it's not hard at all to separate them. Like Ella Enchanted, the book is amazing and the movie is so completely different from the book. At first it made me mad but then, with it being so different, I was able to watch the movie without comparing it to the book.
While we're on the topic of movies... I love old movies! Black and white movies are the best! I feel like movies back in the 40's, 50's and 60's had so much more class then movies now-a-days do. Don't get me wrong. I do love watching movies from this era but I think I sometimes prefer old movies. Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Jimmy Stuart, Doris Day, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn I could go on! I love old actors and actresses. I feel like the men actors of those does just had a more gentleman feel to them then the men these days do, and the women were more refined and elegant and smoking didn't look so bad either. In old movies when they would smoke they make it look classy unlike the movies these days do, people just look like gangsters or something when they smoke, and the whole time your thinking "that's going to kill you dude". I don't think I've ever thought that when I'm watching an old movie.
Change of topic. Right now I'm in the middle of writing an essay for my English class and I think that it's going to kill me! I've never really written a paper before and it's harder then I thought it would be. Or maybe it's the topic that I'm writing about and that's why it's so hard for me. Whatever the reason, this paper is giving me more stress then I need. To top it off I also found out that I'm supposed to have 15 posts right now and I only have 8 (now 9), so now I'm going to have to do 7 posts in a row. Not only am I supposed to have 15 post at this time but I'm also supposed to write 3 more posts this week! All-in-all I'm supposed to have 18 posts total! I also have to study for for a vocab quiz that is going to be on Friday and all of this is just for my English class. I have to study for my math class also. We're in the process of learning fractions. I'm not sure that I like fractions. This is going to be one stressful week for me!

About the first half of your post - "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" is one of my favorite kids books. The movie was 99.9% different than the book, which didn't please me...but hey, it did have some good laughs and Scotty and I enjoyed watching it together.
